Hi guys, new to XDA-DEVELOPERS, really sorry but just like a real NOOOB! i tried to S-OFF on my htc desire with AlphaRev live cd.
Everything went well until step 3, live cd says "WAITING FOR FLASH TO COMPLETE" for nearly 2 hours.
So out of frustration i pulled the usb lead, oooOOPPPS!
Now it boots up into bootloader only and nothing more, every time i power up into the android bootloader again and again!!!
I have tried a factory reset with the bootloader which works fine but when it powers up again it goes back into the bootloader
I have since tried REVOLUTIONARY.EXE , when i connect the device to the computer the program does not recognize the device so that i can get the serial number for the beta key
I would really like someone to help out here, the phone was excellent when it was working it had the ANDROID 2.3.3 INSTALLED with GINGER VILLAIN.
All this stupidity cos i wanted the S-OFF on the device, ( sorry guys, just furious at myself)
In future i will always remember the old motto "IF ITS NOT BROKEN, DON'T TRY AND FIX IT!)
So please, all possible solutions and comments welcome even if it's slagging me off.

Good luck.

Thanks you, as I have said firstly, i am new to all this, secondly the htc desire device is in loop mode and starts up into bootloader splash screen, the phone doesn't boot up.
Please correct me, i think my selection would be guide 2 "S-ON" can't boot recovery/phone won't boot up- and to follow these instructions, but
you have said that i need to make a GOLDCARD but if the phone doesn't boot up then how would i make a goldcard?
I have downloaded the RUU, and because i am newbie with all this, anyway you can explain the full procedure in detail?
Really sorry to be noob!
Thanks
Put sdcard into another phone or use the 2.3 gb upgrade from HTCDev because u wont need a goldcard for that. U can get the 2.3gb upgrade in bortaks guide also, go down to resources.
To run the ruu, simply plug in ur phone to computer while in bootloader and run the ruu (double click it) make sure u have the drivers installed on ur computer for ur phone. All available in bortaks guide like stankyou said answer is there.

Thanks JM,
As i don't have access to another htc desire phone, i have opted for the 2.3 upgrade from HTCDev and is now downloading, and i will follow the instructions supplied with the download and let you know how i get on.
Just to confirm, open zip/rar file connect phone to computer and run upgrade file following instructions and hopefully the device should start up as normal!!?
Thanks again.
Yh when u run it, do not unplug it until its finished

Hi, JM you are STAR M8, my htc desire now back up and working with HTCRev 2.3.3
It was easy as you said, just followed the onscreen instructions and after just 5 minutes i heard this wonderful htc start up tune and i was over the moon thanks to you guys!!!

By the way are there any better RUU's that can give me more internal storage, as it is with android 2.3.3 i'v only got 156mb left on my htc Desire Bravo, but are easy to install, or should i just leave alone?
Thank again
Nope. Thats the problem with htc desire, low space. If u were to go s-off (security off) then u would be able to change hboots which will give u more space and u can flash custom roms. Check the Desire all things root guide in my sig. Loads of info there plus if u decide to go s-off then u can use "revolutionary". There a guide on how to use it in that Desire all things root guide.
So the first thing really is basically read guides so u have an idea of what ur doing. S-off & root using revolutionary is very easy and straight forward. Read the guide

Hi Andy, first of all thanks for all the info and guides.
I have done nothing but read up on the whole process of S-OFF>>>ROOTING>>>FLASHRECOVERY etc.
I have taken the big jump and now i have S-OFF with Revolutionary and the this is the HBOOT-6.93.1002
I have downloade the flash recovery img (AMON-RA) and UNREVOKED
Followed the instructions and selected the custom image file (amon-ra), Unrevoked goes through the paces and stops with a message "waiting for root" (safe to start if this doesn't happen) then the phone just restarts as normal.
I checked apps folder there is a superuser icon, but when i boot into bootloader and select recovery, the phone shows black screen with a green circle (arrows in opposite) very briefly then a black screen with a red triangle over the phone.
I have retried the process but no luck, i don't know what i am missing, guidance would be appreciated!
Thanks MAT

Why do you think you need to downgrade your hboot? What benefits do you expect to gain from doing so?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
as rootsu said, theres no benefits
but if you really want to then head over to the alpharev site and download the hboot downgrader, flash that either by fastboot or the pb99img.zip method, then run a froyo ruu
I already tried using the hboot downgrader but it didn't work.
I also tried unrevoked...

you cant do that, but you can go to http://revolutionary.io and flash a custom hboot, then you can decide if you want to:
1) Flash the downgrader.img and run a Froyo RUU to remain stock OR
2) Flash custom recovery (and root or flash custom ROM)

Is there a way to S-on again ? or change HBOOT?
I try to downgrade but I still have the S-OFF hboot 6.093.1002.
Thank you
only way to s-on is to flash downgrader.img then run RUU. S-off is good though.

Windows Installation
0. Install HTC Sync (driver required).
1. Extract the downloaded zip file fully (do not just click on the zip file).
2. Enable USB debugging on your phone. Ensure 'ask me' is set under 'Connect to PC' setting with 'charge only'. Plug in your phone.
3. Double-click on the win-down file.
4. Follow instructions and wait.
I also used this one, don't know if it is the same

Hi!
I just rooted my HTC Desire Z which was Android 2.3.3 through downgrading it to Android 2.2 and the running Visionary+.
After that I installed ClockworkMod and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery.
When I use Reboot into Recovery in ClockworkMod I get a red exclamation mark only also when I go to recovery from bootloader manually.
Someone said my phone is restoring the stock recovery after every reboot due to the way its rooted.
Alternate bootloader in ClockworkMod is grayed out so I cant install that either.
Any ideas what to do?
Did you follow this method?

First if you read what biohazrd51 linked you to then you would now understand that Visionary + can and usually does brick your phone or make it impossible to use. The root method that biohazrd 51 linked was what you NEEDED to do rather than use the Visionary +. Chances are good you now have a very expensive door stop. I am NOT a programmer by any stretch, I hope you can recover, if so please let us know so that others may read and it help them. Best of luck to you.

Ok I factory reset my phone and now root is gone. Its still Android 2.2 which is good since in the first link you gave me one needs to downgrade if having 2.3.
In those rooting instructions one is asked to load the appropriate Hboot file:
Download the appropriate HBOOT for your phone:
T-Mobile G2: vision.hboot-0.76.2000.zip (md5sum 7669AE12DC2FAA10AE555A164980EFD0)
HTC Desire Z: vision.hboot-0.84.2000.zip (md5sum 2CE1BDD5E4C1119CCFCECB938710D742)
HTC Desire HD: ace_glacier.hboot-0.85.2007.zip (md5sum df4fd77f44993eb05a4732210d2eddc6)
How do i find out if I have a T-Mobile G2 or a Desire Z since to my knowledge both look same. I live in Finland by the way.
...if you bought your device in finnland you propably got a desire z. anyway if you flash the g2 hboot on a dz or the other way around you wouldn´t harm your phone...
only the desire hd hboot is a no go.
if you want to be sure look into your bootloader and google your hboot number
best thing to do is use the desire z hboot, because then you can flash sense 3+ roms (even if you have a g2)
EDIT: before you start, does your bootloader show s-off?
That red exclamation mark is the stock recovery. If it happens when you have sorted S-OFF (do not use Visionary !), just try flashing ClockworkMod recovery again.

Not "usually", but there were a decent amount of soft bricks when Visionary was being used by more people. Enough for most folks on here to conclude that its not as safe as the Wiki method, so not worth it.
Hi,
i just bought htc desire branded by Orange, i dont know wheres is phone from.
I unrooted it by flashing RUU ROM from shipedroms by PB99IMG.zip. Everything was ok but system failed (fail-pu). I tryed it again and it wroted "invalid cid".
Now i have phone with defaul bootloader (S-ON) and without any ROM and i dont know how to get some into it. ADB dont see any device and i have only access throught fastboot.
Do you have any idea how to fix it?
I would realy appreciate it.

Any idea ?

Thx for reply.
Download mode- do you mean hboot or fastboot? Start the phone with power and vol - held down - for hboot for fastboot power and back button... Without goldcard you can't flash WWE RUU, try to find Froyo for Orange or risk it with 2.3.3 from HTC dev... Single exclamation mark means stock recovery... Exclamation mark in each corner means sort of fastboot

I got back my warranty repaired Desire the other day with this configuration. Unrevoked doesn't work, I can only assume because of the PVT4, I already had a gold card which had helped root several phones but this didn't help.
In the end the only resort was to S-off using revolutionary.io, no gold card required.
Once you are s-offed (and the process can add a recovery) you can boot into recovery and flash a downloaded rom.
Ok we have gold card but all tutorials for s-off need functional rom
Any idea?
i could not root it by revolutionary because i dont have system. I have only access to bootloader with s-on, i need some procedure to root it without system.
could anynone help ?
As you have goldcard install WWE RUU, then go for s off

S-off does not require a functional rom. Simply go to revoltionary.io and download their beta tool and get a key to use it.

Hi, i am wondering about changing to a stock rom on my brothers HTC desire.
I do not need root or custom rom on this phone right now, but maybe in the future.
It is an ICS custom rom on it today and HBOOT 0.93. With root and maybe S-OFF.
I am a little afriad to utdate/downgrade to stock rom because i have read several places that if the HBOOT updates to newer than 0.93 i will not be able to root the phone later.
But i read this was via OTA, I will be using HTC Sync for the update.
This will be my phone number 2 and i just want everything to work, newer rom functions is not that important.
I hope anyone will give me some help, becase this phone is WAY more difficult to root and customize than my SGS.
Thanks i advance

Don't worry, every hboot can be hacked. Only 1.03 is a little dodgy, but running an official update will give you at most 1.02 hboot that's easy to handle with revolutionary.

I wonder if i perhaps should go for the pre rooted stock rom from this forum instead.
It should work just as nice as the stock HTC sync rom?

Also i am a little unsure about how important radio is.
I have a different radio on it today than the rom required.
A have read the noob proof guide but i didnt undersdtand how to flash the radio, can it be done in clockworkmod recovery?
On om my SGS all this can be done in either odin or clockworkmod, so i wonder if this can be done in CWM for the desire too, because it is already rooted and HBOOT'ed?
Many thanks.
radio can be flashed through CWM recovery but only v2.5.0.7 or older. best to flash it via fastboot commands. click adb & fastboot in my sig for a guide

I may have a big problem.
I found out that the phone was S-ON and followed the Noob proof guide using alpharev to S-OFF it.
The 2 first steps went fine but step number 3 will not start
On the computer i just says, "waiting for flashing to complete".
But it never starts on the phone.
It also say on the computer that if i turn of the phone now it will be bricked, i dont wanna brick it.
What should i do????!?
****. I waited for an hour like the noob proof guide said i should and the i pulled the plug.
But now my phone will not boot into android. Just goes straight to fastboot mode.
What are my choices now?
Run 2.3 ruu and then all from start.

2.3 RUU via HTC sync or via fastboot? Or via the lin from your signature?
Sorry for being noobish, i just havent gotten the hang of this HTC way of doing it yet
In my signature is only a way how to obtain it. When you download it, it's .exe file packed in zip archive. Unpack it and run from yout PC. Make sure you have HTC sync installed on your PC prior running ruu.

Hey guys! So my cousin bought this used Desire HD. Its running 2.2 Froyo.
So here is the list of the problems:
1. When downloading from Google Play it does not download the app but it can browse. It gives a "Error : No Connection" in the status bar.
2. It should update to 2.3.3 but it says im already updated.
3. Tried factory resetting 2 times. Same thing.
4. Also one weird thing. I live here in Pakistan, so YouTube is blocked here. But the phone does browse YouTube? (it cant open the video though). Some kind of ROM problem i guess so.
What should i do to resurrect this problem? Thank you! Its the International version. "HTC Desire HD A9191".
Also the Serial number is SH11JRX08759

You could try unlocking the bootloader, root, and install a 4.2.2 custom rom. This will void the warranty but it may be the only way to fix the problem.
Update : so i went into the bootloader. And its pretty strange. Its S-OFF but not rooted :/ that is a really strange issue. Also i have noted the signals to be a bit more weaker.. Can somebody guide me from here?
Here r the pics btw

Power off the phone. When it is off, hold down the volume down button and press the power button. This should get you into the HBoot screen. At the top of the screen, it will either say "UNLOCKED" or "LOCKED". If it is unlocked that's great. If it's not unlocked, look at the HBoot line to make sure the HBoot version on your phone can be unlocked. If it can, just follow the guide posted in this forum to install a 4ext custom recovery to flash custom roms.

There are lots of problems in this phone. Like every minute i find a new bug. Can someone please guide me in flashing the stock rom? Or if possible. ROOT it and put some sense 4.1 ROM? That should be 100% stable though. Since this phone is for my little cousin. Thanks. Will appreciate the helping hand

root it with z4root, and use the one click eng s-off.I also had a phone brought in the other day, same thing.You must root it with z4root.

download that , run it, temporary root.Enable USB debugging, connect the cable
http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/EasyS-OFF_05.zip
download that, extract the folder on your desktop or wherever possible, make sure you have ADB drivers installed, run desire hd easy s-off.exe,
and click s-off.It will flash the HBOOT and you're good to go.Make sure you disable fastboot afterwards.(settings>power)
Flash the latest radio found somewhere around here, it will help for GPS connection in newer ROMs.

Woah! Thanks for explaining it to me so thoroughly
Just one question. The phone is already S-OFF :/ Do I have to S-OFF it again? :/
Can't I just root it? :/

You need the ENG S-OFF in order to use any actual commands/flash anything.Also rooting won't fix the play store problem, you must change ROM.If I may recommend, SVHD for a sense rom, or CM10.1 for that clean look.

Ok I am going to Temporary Root my DHD by Z4Root
Keep in touch kind sir I will update u the details
Unlock your bootloader first via htc dev. just follow the intructions in htcdev
Note: You need to update your bootloader first
- if the ruu in htcdev runs and update your bootloader, then your good to go
- if not or error appears, then create a goldcard (Instruction can be found somewhere here)
copy the updated hboot zip file to the root of your card and flash the zip file in recovery
then go back to unlocking your bootloader via htcdev
once unlock use the easyaceroottool to root your phone
-this will automatically flash the clockword recovery then you can flash any custom rom that you want.:fingers-crossed:

he doesn't need to update the hboot, he can easily flash the engineering one and do it a way lot easier.
I am doing what Steam. has said. but since I am running Windows 8, I am encountering some .NET Framework issue unfortunately. trying to resolve them first :/
OK I finally got the .NET Framework working. Gonna try out the process (Gonna read the ENG S-OFF) Obviously
what the?
It says "Bootloader Corrupt. DO NOT REBOOT. Seek help from XDA" :s :s

In the old thread that was here many people rebooted straight away with no problems, they had S-OFF.
Example:

just make sure you have a custom ROM ready to be flashed, do not boot the stock again once you reboot to bootloader.Flash 4EXT recovery, you can find the recovery .img here
just DL a ROM of your choice and flash it afterwards.
